Our diverse neighbourhood is outside the bounds of the old City Wall. Historically the inhabitants have been either unwilling to live under London's jurisdiction or were not welcomed. There is a stark contrast as you cross the invisible border. Spectacular high-rises and a forest of cranes welcome you into the fold.
This contrast was reinforced by the horrible fire in the Grenville Tower yesterday. The city is struggling to come to terms with the tragedy with political leaders failing to connect with the powerful reaction. It is a complicated political time here.
